Every thrilling curve of her body is alive
with life . . . light fills her eyes, dances on
her lips—good photography plus National
Photographic Carbons! These carbons give
the cameraman a chance to reach behind
his shoulders and pat himself on the back.
National White Flame Photographic Car¬
bons (hard-arc) are actinically identical

moon effects that set audiences’ hearts to

fingers of light! And the soft orange light
struck from National Panchromatic Car¬
bons (soft-arc) makes dark eyes more
bewitching . . . allows the baby star to be
photographed in all her peaches and cream
bloom of youth—and what’s more —puts
it across in the film!
